Hello all
I have been having this problem for several months and now it is happening daily.
The first time it did it it just died, no stumble CEL or anything just a dead tiller.
After 30 minutes it fired up and drove normally for a week or so and then same thing.
I replaced the fuel filter and installed a T-fitting in the fuel line and drove around for a few weeks monitoring the fuel pressure while I drove.
Fluke pressure sensor and Fluke meter.
Pressure was where it should be and the regulator checked out.
The T-fitting started to leak and since it had been a couple of weeks with no problems I removed it.
Then same thing, just shuts off. The relay under the dash clicks when cranking.
20 to 30 minutes later it fires up.
Very irritating.
I was checking the cap and coil and while removing the coil wire the terminal pulled out of the wire.
I replaced that and the cap and rotor.
3 days later... it died in the middle of the intersection.
It does it at a steady cruise, climbing a hill, coming to a stop, sitting at a light, pulling away from a light.
No common theme.
Other than having to sit for a while.
It will do it 5 minutes after taking off or drive for 250 miles before screwing up.
Lately it has been an everyday thing.
When running it has plenty of power (for a 4 banger)
I just replaced the exhaust from the resonator back due to exhaust leaks and it wouldn't pass emissions.
The cat was intact and flowing good.
Any ideas before I toss any more parts at it?
I'm about ready to go to a u-pull it and grab everything engine control related.
But don't like the idea of swapping in used electronics.
Thanx
Ron
